Construction of the Bicyclic Core Structure of the Enediyne Antibiotic Esperamicin-A1 in Either Enantiomeric Form from (-)-Quinic Acid
摘要:
Employed as a common chiral starting material, (-)-quinic acid (7) was converted in a concise manner to both enantiomers of the beta,gamma-unsaturated ketone 12. On the one hand, (+)-12 was obtained by stereospecific borohydride reduction of the conjugated ketone intermediate 9, transketalization, and oxidation of the derived homoallylic alcohol using the Dess-Martin periodinane reagent. Alternatively, dehydration of the tertiary alcohol 13 and oxidation of the free hydroxyl group in 14 furnished (-)-12 in good overall yield. Reaction of (+)-12 with dichlorocerium TMS acetylide was followed by Pd(0)-assisted construction of the acyclic enediyne 21. Cyclization of this intermediate on treatment with KHMDS proved efficient, providing the esperamicin intermediate (-)-22 in 60% isolated yield. In an identical fashion -)-12 was converted to the enantiomeric bicyclic enediyne (+)-22. Subsequent liberation of the diol system, and selective oxidation of the allylic alcohol in 25 gave ketone 26. Reaction of this intermediate with Ph(2)S=NH monohydrate gave aziridine 27 which was readily converted to its carbamate derivative 28 in preparation for aziridine ring opening.
Studies toward the construction of the allyltrisulfide Component in esperamicin-A1 from 5-ketoshikimic acid derivatives: Part 1
摘要:
The conversion of keto ester 1, obtained in either enantiomeric form from (-)-quinic acid to its corresponding enol silyl ether 4 was examined as the first step to construct the allyl trisulfide unit found in esperamicin A,. Under different conditions a very facile dimerization of either 4 or enolate 10 to give compound 14 was observed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
